Overview

The Allen P. and Josephine B. Green Foundation is a private foundation with about $11 million in assets.
The mission of the Foundation can be summed up as “Improving the quality of life in Missouri”.
The Foundation accepts grant applications from and makes grants to publicly supported, non-profit [501(c)(3)] organizations whose objectives and programs generally fit within the mission of the Foundation.
Every year, the Foundation receives many more deserving grant requests than it can afford to fund.
Not counting investment expenses, in most years, more than 80% of the Foundation’s expenditures are payments of grants.
A part time administrator is the only employee.
Over its lifetime, the Foundation has paid out over $15,000,000 in grants.
There are eleven members of the Board of Directors, who meet twice a year to award grants and conduct other business essential to the Foundation.
The office is located in Mexico, Missouri, where the Foundation was founded over sixty years ago.
